Mounds View City Council June 14, 2004 Regular Meeting Page 6 • C. 7:16 PM Public Hearing for 2003 Street Improvement Project Resolution 6265, Assessment Hearing, and Adoption of a Special Assessment Levy. Public Works Director Lee stated this is a continuation of the assessment hearing from May 24th. He proposed holding the assessment hearing and then going to item l OD, which is to look at awarding the contract for the 2003 Street Improvement Project, and then coming back to adopting the assessment levy. He stated whether some of the items are awarded or not will affect the assessment amounts, and so they need to award the contract before they approve the adoption of the assessment levy. Public Works Director Lee stated the 2003 Street Improvement Project calls for upgrade of the streets that lie generally south of County Road 10 and north of County Road H2, and west of Long Lake Road. He stated Lake Court Drive & Circle was originally part of the project, but they were deleted since they had some issues with those private streets being converted over to public streets. Public Works Director Lee stated that the project as proposed calls for total reconstruction of the streets west of Silver Lake Road, and the streets will be adjusted to 28 feet in width. He stated the streets east of Silver Lake Road, since they already have concrete curb and gutter, would have upgraded bituminous surface, some minor replacement of the curb and gutter, and replacement and upgrade of the infrastructure. He stated sanitary sewer improvements that were necessary would be part of the 2003 Street Improvement Project. • Public Works Director Lee stated bids were received for a proposed sidewalk on the west side of Groveland from County Road I to County Road 10, and bids were also open for the parking lot at the Lakeside Lions Park. He stated the estimated total cost for the project is $2,178,000, of which $557,000 would be assessed. He stated Spring Lake Park would pay for their portion of the project, and also Municipal State Aid would be paying for a portion of it. He stated Mounds View Special Project funds would be used depending on whether or not the City Council awards the contract for Lakeside Lions Park. Public Works Director Lee stated on Apri122 the City received five bids for the project, and that the low bidder was Hard Drives, Inc. at $1,574,000. He stated Alternate No. 1 for the Groveland sidewalk was $40,234, and Alternate No. 2 for Lakeside Lions parking lot is a little under $100,000. He stated the base bid came in 8.8 percent less than the engineer's estimate for this project. He stated assuming the City adopts the assessment levy for this project, payments would be due with interest up until October 31St of this year. He stated the assessments period would be certified to the county, and residents would have a period often years to pay those assessments at an interest rate of 5 percent.
